Ex-AJ rival to Aussie star: Who are Itauma's first-round KOs?

Moses Itauma is back in the ring this weekend as he looks to extend his impressive record against Jermaine Franklin in Manchester this Saturday, live and exclusively on DAZN.

Itauma, still only 21, has built himself a reputation as a fighter who likes to end matters early, but can he do that against Franklin, who has never been stopped? 

Dillian Whyte and Demsey McKean are two high-level operators who were taken out in one round by Itauma , but they are not the only fighters to succumb in the opening session to Itauma’s power.
